Itwill replace just the Lighting Node Pro, you'll still use the Fan RGB Hub with the Commander Pro. Note, if its just lighting you are wanting to control, the Lightning Node Pro will do the job. Only need the Commander Pro if you are wanting to control all the fans and have the temp monitors.

The CoPro has thermistors to measure case temperatures which can then be used to control the fan speeds. On a small case, heat can build up very, very quickly - we've seen no end of folks not managing their heat properly. The CoPro gives great insight into those issue. And, of course, if cool and quiet is your thing, the CoPro is better suited to maintaining that, especially if your system is liquid cooled.

2) RGB Hub, connect the SATA power cable from the RGB Hub to a SATA cable connection from your power supply. Likely will be the same power supply cable that the Commander Pro is connected to. Most power supplies have a SATA cable with 4 connections. Connect the RGB Hub LED cable to LED Port 1 on the Commander Pro and I'll explain a little later below how to configure it.

3) Connect the two fans that came with the 280x as follows, plug each Fan power connector into a Fan port on the Commander Pro. That should be Fan Port 1 and 2, as they need to be plugged in order on the Commander Pro. Don't plug them into Fan port 3, 4, 5 or 6 - since you'll only be connecting the two fans that came with the case to the Commander Pro. Next plug each case Fans RGB cable into the RGB Hub Ports 1 and 2.

4) Now, onto your H100i. Connect the SATA power cable from your AIO to a SATA cable connection from your power supply. Again, likely the same SATA cable that the Commander Pro and RGB Hub were plugged into. The two fans that came with the H100i will be plugged into the separate Fan power wires coming from your AIO pump head and their RGB cables will also connect to the RGB wires coming from your AIO pump. Plug the AIO pump 3-Pin Fan connector to the CPU Fan header on your motherboard. Next plug the USB cable that connects to the AIO pump head on one end into the USB port on your Commander Pro. Be sure to get the pins right when plugging into the Commander Pro USB port. Pretty common for people to misalign it.

5) Install the iCUE software. It should detect both the H100i as a device, showing the two AIO fans and also the Commander Pro showing the two case fans. Your two case fans may not be lit up, so select the Commander Pro in iCUE and then under Lighting Setup, select the drop-down menu for Lighting Channel 1 (as this is LED Port 1 that your RGB Hub was plugged into in step 3 above) and select LL RGB Series Fans and in the drop-down beside that select 2 Fans are connected. The two case fans should now be lit up. Now select the H100i in iCUE and under Lighting Setup select ML RGB Series Fans from the Fan Type drop down.

The Commander Pro has two USB ports, so you can use one for the AIO and the second one for RM850i. Re: AIO connected to AIO, yes you could connect the fans and rgb cables to the Commander Pro, but honestly in my experience its been better to just to connect directly with the AIO. Both the AIO and Commander Pro are managed through iCUE, so really not an issue.

BTW if for some reason you need more internal USB ports, you can always pick up the NZXT Internal Hub which gives you a bunch of extra USB ports for internal and external devices. Runs around $25 on Amazon.

Maybe I am missing something...am I able to control the RPM of the front fans on the 280x with a CoPro?? I basically have the same set up (Corsair 280x case and CoPro)with the RGB hub and Lighting Node Pro pre-installed. I've followed the step by step instructions and cant get the CoPro to get recognized in iCUE.

Here's where I get lost...Only my Lighting Node is detected in iCUE. The CoPro is working because I have the Lighting Node and my H100i Pro cooler connected to it vis USB and I'm able to control the RPM of the two cooler fans in iCUE.

Picked up a used R9 280X. It works great for everything except this screen flicker.

Using AMD drivers 18.5.1

Every thing I have see online is to raise the low end gpu and ram frequency up from 300mhz gpu and 150mhz ram.

The latest drivers do not have an .xml in the location people say it is in.

Getting rid of this flicker would be great.

Do not want to go back to a GTX 560.

Thanks

The problem just started today this card has been in my machine and working 4 days.

Could a program start this problem, because after supper I do not have any flicker.

I had Steam open on the desktop, Firefox and thunderbird open when it started.

And the flicker only happens when the gpu goes into power saving mode. When I start a program that ups gpu usage then it does not flicker.

Just a few observations.

Will have to see if this is something that is just here or there when some programs run.

Problems like this are very hard and annoying to fix.

If anyone has some insight to this kind of problem would like to hear for you.

Have a day

Is there an easy way to change the settings for the gpu and memory on the r9 280, when the gpu goes into its lowest state it drops down to 300mhz on the gpu and 150 on the memory.

I would like to raise this to something higher.

From what I have read wattman does not work on the r9 280x and in there I could fix this easy.

I do not like when the gpu drops that far down when it is not doing anything. Would prefer it to stay near its max clock speeds.

Is there a program that works like wattman and allows you to change the power states on the gpu.

I sort of have a fix for this problem, just not a great one.

Downloaded Asus Tweak 1 clicked on the 2D settings and up the clock speeds to 800mhz on the gpu and 1000mhz on the memory.

Does anyone know of a way to do this with out using Asus Tweak, I would like to know.

The Asus Tweak fix was more like a cut down of how many flickers happened, it cut it down a lot but not a complete fix.

Did a clean install of Drivers.

Went back to a restore point.

used Guru3d DDU to remove drivers.

Uninstalled MSI afterburner Asus tweak 1 and 2, found all files a folders I could and deleted them.

Ran CCleaner registry cleaner 3 time till there was no fixes for nvidia or amd and the first clean there was a lot of both.

checked windows update

did a restart

checked windows update

ran CCleaner again there was nothing.

This as clean as I could make it with what I know.

Shutdown PC turned power switch off on power supply, waited a few min, repowered PC and started PC.

Did all the checks again to make sure there was nothing around made sure Microsoft did not install some older AMD dirver like it did one other time I did all this. Checked hardware to make sure Display driver was just a Microsoft driver, then installed AMD driiver 18.8.2 aug 27. Checked Window for updates.

Thinking back problems started when I start MSI afterburner and Riva tuner to test Skyrim SE and how it works

This is the same MSI afterburner that I had installed and was using on the GTX 560 for overclocking. Do not know if it could contaminate things along with all the still in system registry from Nvidia. After using MSI afterburner was when problems started. Just put info down in case someone else on internet reads this and has the same problems.

Will see how this works and if the screen flicker / jumping stops.

Will try underclocking

It is not really a flicker it more like the screen jumps up an inch then back to normal.

Only happens when in 2D more, in games it works great, but firefox and anything on the desktop does this screen jump.

Will give underclocking a go and see what happens.

Thanks for the info, did some research into the underclocking, and got the best answer to the problem.

The Asus R9 280x DCII Top underclocking the ram is what fixes the problems, Asus clocked the ram at 1600/6400mhz and did not put any heatsink on the ram to keep the chips cool fan curve starts at 20% and stays there till close to 60 -70 C then ramps up. By that time the ram is to hot and starts artifacting.

I underclocked the ram down 1450/5800 mhz and pushed the fan speeds to 43% just high enough so I do not hear them. Have been playing games then working 2D desktop all day and not one of the screen jumps. If this is the fix will bring up the ram speeds up to 1500/6000 mhz, and leave it there.

Thanks Cutie for put me on the right track. Asus just had to make a better cool, or just put some heat sinks on the ram, or have a better fan profile and these would have been great cards out of the box.

Will run this way for a few days to make sure problem is fix then change the Header to a full fix.

Nope, looked up the card and found the people who had success with fixing the flicker, and the only thread that had a fix talked about underclocking the ram. And after the underclock there is no problems no screen jumps, just a proper working gpu. Did try an older driver not by choose just something windows decided to install and it did the same thing that was a Drive starting in 14.?.?. Did try a DVI cable, same thing. Did not try a different monitor did not have one. Asus from what that thread was talking about was putting 1.6 volts into ram that was made as 1.5 volt ram, increasing the voltage is not a problem, but asus did not put any heat sinks on the ram, and that is not a good thing to do.

This is just my point of view, on this problem, Asus did not make the card right and this is what I did to fix it.

Hello

Thanks for the info.

Installed MSI afterburner and checked Force Constant voltage then upped voltage on gpu and memory. Went for 1144 mv 1156 mv gpu and went from 1500mv to 1600mv memory. Riva tuner reports the memory as 1600 mv so thats what I set it to.

Then put in a better fan curve fans start at 30% and then go up from there

gpu and memory clocks are back at original 1070mhz gpu and 1600mhz memory.

Will give this a try and if it work great card is back to full power.
